UNITE STATES THEODOE KBLER, OF STUTTGART, GERMANY.

SPRAY'ER OR ATOMIZER.

Application filed February 9, 1928, Serial No. 253,164, and in Germany February 15, 1927.

My invention relates to sprayers Or atomizers :for liquids. .lt is object of my invention to provide a device of this kind Which Can be directly connected With the tins or other receptacles in Which the liquid, such as varnish, paint, lacquer or the like, is sold.

To this end I provide an open or closed frame, Which may also have the :tonn of a closed container and is adapted to take up the tn or other liquid-receptacle, the contents of Which shall. be atomized. With the irame or container is connected a pump, compressor or the like, Which may he permanently monnted thcreon. I insert the tn er otl'xer receptacle in the frame or container and 'ntroduce into the receptacle, When it is in position in the frame or Container, the delivery pipe of the pump or compressor, so that the liquid in the tiu or other receptacle :is raised and e-:pelled hy the pump, compressor or the like :for atomizati on.

In the drawing ai'iixed to this :'speciiication and ferming; part thereot an apparatus emhodyinp; my inventien illustratcd diagrammat-ically.

In the drawng F 1 is a perspective illustration of the Complete apparatus,

Fn. 2 is a perspective illustration of a. tn :for the liquid to he sprayed,

Fig. 3 is a partly sectional elevation oit the apparatus.

te'ferring to the draiving, a is a pump or coinpressor of some suitahle type, b is a frame or container, on the cover plato 72 of which the pump :is permanently or detaehahly secured, and e is the delivery pipe oil the pump, Which projects dowmvardly int-o the frame or Container 7). The frama or container is closed at its bottom end hv a hinged lid G and a clip is provided, :for holding: the lid in Closed position. (Z is a spring secured to the lid on the inside, g is a tin containing the liquid to he sprayed or atomized, is a short pipe projectingfrom the top of the tn, and f is a cushion to Which the upper edge of the pipe s is held. hv the thrust of' the spring d.

In operation the lid C is opened, the tin the stopper er other Closure of Which has heen removed from the pipe 70, is inserted in the container Z) from below and the lid a is closed by the clip This is the position of parts illustrated in F igg. 1, in Which a tight connection is made by the cushion f and the delivery pipe e of the pump or compressor a projecting into the tin g, so that the liquid is discharged from the tn by the compressor, and s sprayed or atomized.

My invention is particularly designed for applying; varnish or Other preserving' coatings to lacquered surfaces, for instance motorcar bodies, hut it may also be used for other purposes, for instance for spraying* Wax soluton onto parquet fioors, and generally Where- QVGL' it is (lesir-ed to atomize an expensive, dan,- gerous, or readily volatilized liquid.

It is to he nnderstood that I am not limited to a frame or container in Which the bottom is hinged and the top plate is fiXed, as obviously these parts might be arranged conversely. The pump or compressor might also he permanently or detachahly secured to the hinged lid instead of being secured to the fixed Cover plate, and Other means than a hinge might be provided for connecting the lid and the container.

I Wish it to be understood that I do not Clesire to he limited to the exact details of construction shown and described for ohvious modifications Will occur to a person skilled :in the art.

I claim A sprayer or atomizer comprising a france adapted to receive a liquid-receptacle and having a fixed top plate, a pump or Compressor secured to said top plate, a delivery pipe connected With said compressor and extending axially into said container, a hing'ed lid at the bottom of said Container, means for holding said lid in closed position resilient means On said lid for exerting' axial thrust on said receptacle, and a cushion secured below said fixed top plate and adapted to he engaged hy said receptacle under the action of such thrust.

In testimony WhereOf I aflix my signature.

THEODOR KBLER.
